Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price it by the number of stories, and both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them separately. Across North Carolina, most of our customers book this in the spring and fall, which is when pollen and leaves build up fastest on the glass and in the gutters.
Priced by stories, not by a visit. The bundle costs less than two trips, and the number on the phone is the number on the invoice.
We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle done in one visit costs less than two separate trips. The number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice, and it comes from those figures plus what the crew finds on the day.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are a third story, multi-story buildings that need a longer setup, a roof too steep to walk, a large window count with oversized panes or picture windows, gutters that have not been opened in years or are packed with needles, leaves and grime, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Flushing gutters and downspouts, rinsing screens and wiping sills are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Our Roanoke Rapids crew treats each house on its own measures. Send a photo of the front of the house by text along with the stories and a rough window count, and we will tell you what the job involves. Many customers find the window washing and the gutter cleaning come out cheaper together than as two separate calls, which is the point of booking our window cleaning services and gutter work in one visit, but the figure comes from your house, not from a standard rate. Every residential window we clean gets the exterior glass, the picture windows and the frames. Interior and exterior glass are different jobs, so the washing services on this visit stop at the outside. Regular cleanings keep the quote lower over time, because a gutter that is cleared twice a year carries far less debris than one left for three.
| Gutters only | Exterior windows only | Both in one visit | |
|---|---|---|---|
| One story | from $150 | from $150 | from $240 |
| Two stories | from $195 | from $210 | from $325 |
| Three stories | from $255 | from $285 | from $430 |
For context, nationally. Angi puts the average US gutter cleaning at $168, most homeowners paying $119 to $234 (Angi, 2026). Exterior-only window cleaning runs roughly $4 to $10 per window, or $100 to $250 for a typical home, with $3 to $5 per window more on upper stories (Angi, HomeGuide, via Google AI Overview, Oct 2026). Priced by stories, the most common model, a two-story gutter cleaning sits around $150 to $300 nationally. If a quote you are holding sits far outside these, ask what is driving it.
On every house we work, the first scoop out of a gutter ends up on the wall below it. We put the glass last so it ends up there once.
Gutters first, glass last. That is the order on every job our crew does, and it is the reason we book both with one crew instead of sending two.
What we see from the ladder. When we clear a run, the leaves, the grit and the black water that sits under them come down the wall and across any window below it. Flushing a downspout throws more of it, in a stream, onto the panes beside the outlet. If the glass was washed first, someone has to wash them again before we are off the ladder. So we do the roof blow-off, clear the gutters, flush every downspout, give the wall a few minutes to stop dripping, and only then start on the glass. The panes under the downspout outlets are the last ones we touch on the house.
Two things we do differently from a window-only crew. We rinse the siding under each run before we move to the glass, so nothing left on the wall washes down onto it in the first rain. And we do the top-floor glass from the same ladder position as the gutter run, one setup per side of the house, which is where the bundle saving comes from: no second trip, no second setup.
Downspouts flushed, screens rinsed, sills wiped, bags hauled. None of it shows up as a line item.
Gutters. Roof blow-off where debris sits above the gutter line. Every run hand-cleared, not just the visible stretch from the ground. Every downspout flushed with water until it runs clear, and a blocked one cleared on the spot where it can be reached from above. A downspout that feeds a buried drain line is checked at the outlet; clearing the buried line is a separate job, quoted before anyone touches it. Debris bagged and taken away. Before-and-after photos of each run, sent to you before the crew leaves.
Windows, exterior only. Every reachable pane on the outside of the house, cleaned with a water-fed pole and purified water so the glass dries without streaks or towel lint. Frames wiped. Screens taken down, hand-rinsed and put back on request. Sills wiped. Upper-story windows done from the pole, not from a ladder leaned on the siding.
Not included, and we say so up front. Interior glass. Hard-water or sprinkler staining etched into the glass, which needs a separate mineral treatment and is quoted after the crew sees it. Post-construction paint, stickers or stucco. Skylights and solar panels. Pressure washing of siding, decks or driveways. Gutter guards: if a run is covered, lifting and reseating the guard adds time and is quoted by the foot before the visit, never on the day.
Twice a year for both, and the same two months, which is why one visit covers it.
Most of our customers here book both twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. Across North Carolina, the spring visit runs late April to May, and it catches the pollen film on south-facing glass and the pollen paste sitting in the gutters. The fall visit, November to early December, catches the leaf load, which is the one that turns into a wet mat and backs water over the edge when it rains.
Some houses need a third visit as we see them. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps putting debris in the gutters between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and those need cleaning solutions rather than another pass. A house close to a busy road or active construction picks up a film of grime faster than the rest. Residential and commercial glass shares these patterns, and the crew notes which of them your house has on the first visit.
Left too long, clogged gutters back runoff up behind the fascia, and that is how water damage starts on the wood and the brick below. The windows inside stay as they are, since this visit is exterior only, but the outside glass gets the frames and sills done in the same pass. You know it is time for the gutters when water sheets over the edge in rain. You know it is time for the windows when there is a haze you only notice when the sun is low.
Most two-story homes are done in a morning. You do not need to be there, and you get the photos either way.
The crew calls the day before with a two-hour arrival window, and again when they are on the way.
How long. This Old House puts a professional gutter cleaning at 30 minutes to an hour on a typical house. Exterior windows on the same house run about the same again or a little more, so plan on a morning for a two-story home and most of a day for three stories or a house with a lot of glass. Gutters that have not been touched in years, steep roofs and wraparound porches run longer.
Before the crew arrives. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, so the glass is dry and the ground is not mud. Move cars off the driveway if windows face it. Keep pets inside while ladders are up. Unlock side gates. Nothing else; the crew brings its own water and power.
While they work. Gutters first, glass last, as described above. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work; the crew does not come inside. If something cannot be reached safely (a pane over a sunroom roof, a gutter run behind a tree limb) the crew photographs it and tells you rather than guessing.
After. Photos of every gutter run and the finished glass, sent by text or email before the crew leaves. The invoice matches the number quoted on the phone.
Send a photo and we tell you what it is. No argument about whether it rained.
Streaks. Purified water dries clean; a streak means something was missed, and that is on us. Send us a photo of it and we tell you what it is.
Spots that come back. Round white spots that return a day after cleaning are mineral deposits from sprinklers or hard water etched into the glass, not dirt. Cleaning cannot remove them; a mineral treatment can. The crew flags it on the visit so you are not surprised.
Rain the next day. Rain is distilled water and does not dirty clean glass by itself; what spots glass after rain is dust already on the frame or screen washing down. That is why frames and screens are done, not just the pane. If it looks worse after a storm, send the photo and we look at it.
Overflow after a cleaning. If a gutter runs clean and still sheets water over the edge in the next rain, the cause is slope, a sagging hanger or an undersized downspout, not debris. The crew notes what it saw and tells you; cleaning it again will not fix it, and we will not sell you a second cleaning for a slope problem.
Your house. Ladder stand-offs on every ladder so nothing rests on the gutter lip or dents the siding. Screens go back in the window they came out of.
Neighborhood by neighborhood, with a lead time we say out loud, and a call before the truck turns in.
Our crew works across Roanoke Rapids and clears the gutters and washes the outside glass on houses and residential properties in every part of the city. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text: send the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we give you a date and an arrival window. Lead time varies with the season, and we will tell you the first open slot when you call.
The busy weeks are the spring and fall windows described above, when the calendar fills and the cleaning services we run most often are booked out. If you want a particular date in those weeks, call early. Our window cleaners work from the same ladder position for gutters and glass on each side of the house, so one slot covers every window and every run instead of splitting the work across two visits. Professional window cleaning on this schedule means the crew shows up with the purified water and the boom or scissor lift already sorted. Clean glass and clear gutters are a large part of curb appeal, and the crew checks both before it leaves.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Keep the side gate unlocked, move cars off the driveway if the windows face it, and keep pets inside while the ladders are up. Every window on the outside gets the same attention, and the sill and frame get wiped to remove dirt before the crew leaves.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and downspouts and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so nothing that falls from the gutters lands on clean glass.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text before anyone is booked. Residential properties are priced the same way. There is no fixed figure we can quote here.
Yes, because a residential window collects the pollen, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots on the outside, and those are what cloud the glass here. The inside has nothing to do with what the outside collects.
Most of our customers here book in the spring and in the fall. Call (866) 435-6328 early in those windows, since the calendar fills. Across North Carolina, the spring visit runs late April to May, and the fall visit here runs November to early December.
No. Gutter runoff is what spatters the glass, so we clear the gutters first, flush the downspouts, give the wall a few minutes to stop dripping, and then do the glass.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included in the outside pass.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit. We do not do the interior and we do not do pressure washing. Quotes for condos follow the same stories and window count as houses.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside and unlock the side gate. The crew sends photos of every run and downspout before it leaves.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
